Heart of Healthcare Nursing Scholarship
Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare industry, keepers of the Nightingale Pledge, and members of one of the most trusted and valued professions in the world. Their work constantly elevates the delivery of healthcare services, improving patient safety, promoting wellness, improving access to care, reducing healthcare costs, and doing it all while ensuring the best possible patient outcomes.
Whether you’re earning your first degree in nursing, or your next one, your efforts are part of something bigger, advancing the nursing profession itself while ensuring everyone gets the kind of care we’d all want our own family and friends to have access to. It’s a noble profession, and one that attracts people with purpose.
That’s why we want to show our appreciation to future nurses and those advancing in the field by making it a little easier to cover the cost of earning a degree by offering the 2021 Honors in Nursing Scholarship – worth $1,000!

My life has been split between living in rural South Carolina and in crime-ridden Newark, New Jersey. In both, I have had firsthand experience on what health care looks like when there are a lack of resources and for marginalized communities. I have lost very important family members like my mom and grandpa, suddenly, to things that could have easily been treated by something as simple as education and early screenings. I vowed to not let that happen to others. For me, being the change, I wanted to see in health care delivery is why I decided to pursue a career in nursing.

I was born in Romania and moved to the United States in 1998, when my family won the Visa Lottery. My father jokingly applied for the visa with no intentions of being chosen, so winning was a shock to my entire family.

I was interested in pursuing nursing as my mom is a nurse midwife, and I grew up hearing about her experiences and visiting the clinic where she worked. I have always loved medicine and working with vulnerable populations, so nursing was a perfect fit. My mom was also diagnosed with cancer when I was a senior in high school, so I spent a lot of time in the hospital during this time and was exposed to the nurse-patient relationship. These experiences showed me the significant impact a nurse can make on a person’s life.
